A bunch of grapes sells for 70,000 yuan, what does it look like?

Priced-to-the-sky fruit has gained a new member! According to a July 7 report by Japan's Sankei Shimbun, the premium grapes "Ruby Roman," a specialty of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, fetched a sky-high price of 73,000 yuan per bunch at auction. Why are these grapes so expensive? Let's talk it over together.

We have only heard of wines that routinely cost tens of thousands, but never of grapes priced at tens of thousands of yuan.

Today, a piece of news from Japan completely changed my understanding of grapes. According to a July 7 report by Japan's Sankei Shimbun, the premium grapes "Ruby Roman," a specialty of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, fetched a sky-high price of 73,000 yuan per bunch at auction.

Just this one bunch of seemingly unremarkable grapes, worth 73,000 yuan? I seriously refuse to accept it.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Even if the price is inflated, there should be some real substance behind it, right? So what exactly makes it so good?

According to reports, "Ruby Roman" is a variety that Ishikawa Prefecture spent 14 years developing. Its sweetness is above 18 degrees, and only grapes whose individual berries weigh more than 20 grams can be shipped.

What does a sweetness above 18 degrees actually mean? According to Baidu Baike, sweetness is a relative value, usually with sucrose as the reference substance: the sweetness of a 10% or 15% sucrose aqueous solution at 20°C is taken as 1.0, and the sweetness of other sugars is obtained by comparison with it. A sweetness above 18 degrees means the sweetness of "Ruby Roman" is equivalent to 18 times the sweetness of sucrose water.

According to public reports, the Hami melon produced in ** in our country can reach a sweetness of 16, so this red grape with a sweetness of 18 really is extraordinary.

2016 was the 9th year that "Ruby Roman" has been on the market, and by late September a total of 20,000 bunches were expected to be shipped.

From this it can be seen that the yield is not high at all, no wonder it sells for such a high price.
